whine & dine

Not that this post is meant to be a plug for vick’s blog (ah but what the hell – most of you probably know it already anyway), but I just had the most harrowing week ever. In terms of cupcake-madness that is.

A friend of a friend asked me to do a motherload of cupcakes for her wedding, half pink with her name, and another half sorta like the cupcake pictured, but with the groom’s name. I never want to see another cupcake again.

Much thanks, though, to Jaime and Wei, who very gamely came over to help out with the umm we call them atomic bombs/bloops, and really to keep me company and keep me from going mad with all the icing sugar flying around the house. Then again, their presence meant there were 3 of us fighting for the guitar to play Guitar Hero II on my newly acquired, dirt-cheap, 2nd hand xbox 360. w0000t!

(Sidenote: Shirlyn.. playing guitar hero kept making me think of you ‘cos so many of the songs in the tracklist are songs you guys play on Thursdays!)

Anyhoo, apart from being completely cupcake-ed out, both my hands are in a rather bad way – with the right suffering from piping-induced CPS, and the left from guitar hero-induced RSI. Whoops.

Ah well. At least I had some extras left over that I could decorate for friends, especially since on Friday night I was sure that I could have piped ANYTHING on that little round of fondant, i.e. not just names. To prove my point, I present to you the cupcake piped with vickiho.com/blog. That’s right – an entire URL. That consists of a name too. SCORE.

PS: I wonder if posts about Guitar Hero get to be categorised under Music.
